Hey there. . I'm sitting at work and going through the weekend in my mind. . My enthusiasm in the beginning was on fire, nothing else mattered than being grateful for the chance and using the tools I've been given. Almost 7 weeks out and 35 pounds down I'm still grateful but my mood and enthusiasm is in the toilet. I'm anxious and feeling down. Feeling that I'm going to spoil this for sure. Feeling my food addiction speaking to me again. Feeling that I've used so much money for nothing and I'm going to let my closest family down. . Well that's what I'm feeling.

Have you found a way to visually account for all of the lbs lost? For example I buy myself a pretty fake flower for every 10 lbs lost. As the bouquet grows I can visually recognize that I'm making changes. You need to be proud of what you've done so far, it will push you to continue to stay focused! Are you using myfitnesspal or anything? Gotta stay on it!

@@bangbangbarbie what a great idea, Rona<3 we have all been on a downward spiral at some point mine has been the last two weeks.

Why because I was doing everything right and not seeing any positive changes come from my hard work. I changed things up eliminated sugars, increased my Protein and try to have little carbs as possible and I have seen the scales move down and that has boosted me so much.

Do you feel this is the same for you, after all the expense and missing food that you are not being rewarded by the scales to show for it?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
